Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Chatsworth, NJ.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chatsworth provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
